The Life Shift: Real Stories of Life-Altering Moments

Day 19: Feeling Down: A Real Talk on Mental Health – 30 days, 30 episodes


Listen Later

On Day 19, I share the importance of acknowledging and sharing our feelings, especially during difficult times. I open up about my struggles with sleep and the emotional burden of recent grief, illustrating how these feelings can affect daily life.

I highlight that it's okay to not feel great all the time and share the value of having a support system to share these feelings with. I believe verbalizing our struggles can help normalize them, making them feel more manageable. By being honest about my own challenges, I hope to encourage listeners to embrace their emotions and seek connection during tough times.

Takeaways:

  • It's important to acknowledge when you're not feeling great and share those feelings.
  • Taking time off to care for yourself is essential for mental well-being and balance.
  • The pressure of podcasting can lead to frustrations, but it's crucial to remember the purpose.
  • Normalizing feelings of sadness and struggle helps us connect with others who feel the same way.
  • Acknowledging your emotions and expressing them can alleviate the anxiety and burdens you carry.
  • Every episode may not resonate with everyone, but each story has its audience and purpose.
